cooking and illustrating the Vegan Cookbooks

Two nice places in Gent

Last weekend felt like a small holiday. We were having a 3-day-weekend and the weather was still very warm. On saturday, we went to the Brugse Poort ( a neighbourhood in Gent). A few friends opened a new coffee house. It’s more like a communicating house. And they sell only fair-trade or biological things. There is a possibility to eat a vegetarian soup of pasta. And it’s cheap.

IF you’re in the neighbourhood, you should definetely check it out.

Close by, there is also the bio-planet ( it’s a supermarket). We (the teenage girl and me) went over there because we really wanted to have an ice-cream. Unfortunalty for us, the Tofutti boxes were to large for the 2 of us. So, we decided to go to the bio-planet restaurant, it was advertising with ice-cream coupes. Helas, they told us, they didn’t use soy-icecream. The woman behind the counter was really nice, she asked me why I wanted soy instead of dairy. So, I told her is wasn’t for health reasons, I was only trying to eat as less as possible diary. Because of the teenage girl big dissapointement (I promised her an ice-cream for some days already), I decided we should take one, anyway. The dairy was all bio; so it was less bad. And then this great thing happened. The very nice woman, told us that especcially for us, they were going to take a Toffutti ice box from the store and made us a Dame Blanche with it. So, we had a delicious vegan ice cream after all. 5 stars for the best service ever.

It looks like my flick isn’t working today, so new pictures to post. But I think I didn’t show these ones yet:

It’s corn bread from ‘Another dinner is possible’ and Carrot bisque from ‘Vegan with a vengeance’.
